Thanks for the clarification.  

As for MapQuest, why do you say that it sucks?  I look up directions and addresses all the time, and it has *never* failed me.

Mapquest has given me directions at least twice that were close to the destination, but  a couple turns off.
Kinda a kick in the nutz drivin for an extend period, gettin close, and then not being able to locate the
final destination.  I just use it now to get an idea of where something is located, and then use a good old map
to get the accurate directions.

btw:
The pole position cabinet still has the stearing wheel and the bezel. No marquee or coin door.......

It *rarely* gives me completely accurate directions.  At least around here, it seems to have a lot of inaccurate street names, and often leads you on really inefficient/roundabout routes.  My main problem with it is that it seems to give names to route numbers around here.  For instance, there's route 301 that is called about 15 different things in Mapquest's system, but around here everyone just knows it as 301.

I never use Mapquest anymore. First time it went bad was when I went to a buddys wedding in Lake Tahoe. We were going from the chapel to the reception and it told me to head back south into California for about 150 miles, make a U-turn, then head right back into Lake Tahoe to the destination.

Within the past 2 months I used it 2 different times as well, both had wrong turns, and completely wrong directions.

Bah.

Wow, I guess I must  be the lucky one.  Now, Yahoo! Maps, that I've had problems with.  On our last anniversary, we decided to go to Gasho, a Japanese restaurant where they cook the food on the table in front of you (how neat!).  My in laws (where we were staying @ the time, since they were watching the kids) gave us printed directions via Yahoo! Maps, and they added a ton of stuff, and it was completely confusing.

MapQuest?  Five lines of directions, leading right to where I wanted to go.

I'm not saying they're infallible (obvously a 300 mile stint in the wrong direction is very, very bad) but I've never had an issue.  And I always check it before I set off.

I bought the AAA Trip Planner some years back.  @ the time I was living in Monticello, NY and wanted directions to the Bronx.  It was just over 100 miles away.  When it outputted the results, it told me the final miles were nearly 400!  Then I looked at the map.  For whatever reason, the stupid software thought the Bronx was in Buffalo.

It may be better now, but when I first moved to the DC area (~5 years ago), Mapquest directions would, more often than not, take you the wrong way down one-way roads.

mapquest is really useful if you just ignore their directions and print oput hte maps, then figure out your own way. alot of the driving directions they give  are crap. i have gotten a simular one to the tahoe one but not so far, it told me to make a left turn go 10 miles, make a right turn go 10 miles, another right turn, go 10 miles right back to 2blocks fro mthe starting point! lame.

I'm an ExpediaMaps.com person myself... when I go on long trips, though, I use the Triptik maps at aaa.com.
